Oregano, The Mountain Joy !!

The name oregano is derived from the Greek words "oros" (mountain) and "ganos" (joy) since not only was it a symbol of happiness, but it made the hillside on which it grew look beautiful.

It is available throughout the year. While many people think of pizza when they think of oregano, this wonderful herb can add a warm, aromatic flavour to many different dishes, especially those of the Mediterranean cuisine.
